Stella smiled. "It wouldn't be right for me to let you down since you're being so kind to me."Forget about tomorrow since we don't have anything to do now anyway."I remember you live not far away from here, right? Why don't you take me there to have a look today?"Then, she said jokingly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to give me any bags after tomorrow."Bella paused. 'Did Stella get so poor after the divorce that she went crazy? Can't she tell that I was only trying to embarrass her? Why would she even say yes to that? Is she out of her mind?'Stella's words left Bella no choice but to play along. "Everybody here heard what I said. Of course, I'll honor my promise, but—""Let's go then," Stella cut Bella off before she could finish her sentence. She stood up and put on a happy look. "I kind of want to see what every woman's dream room looks like."Yolanda scoffed. 'Is she really feeling excited to get someone's used bags? Once a lowlife, always a lowlife!'Then, she turned a
Stella swept her gaze across Yolanda.'Olivia was the last person who tried to embarrass me like that. Could Yolanda be her long-lost daughter?'However, Olivia only wanted to flatter Dahlia for the sake of her husband. I just can't figure out what Yolanda is trying to get by doing this. She would even praise Bella no matter what she did. Is Bella giving her a cut from her earnings?'Bella can't be considered one of the top actresses, and she doesn't even know any wealthy person. She has some connections with third-rate producers, but that's it. She doesn't even know how to pick the right script for herself. How could she help Yolanda?'Perhaps Yolanda isn't doing this for anything; she just hates me.'Stella smiled. 'I'm good. However, you seem like you're in a rush more than me. Why don't you ask Bella for one or two bags too? You're so close with her, and I'm sure that she won't let you go home empty-handed."Yolanda could be very quick-witted when it came to things like this.
Stella said, "I don't quite have the space for them in my house, so I plan on placing them at a friend's."A while ago, Keegan had been getting people to send Stella lots of shoes and clothes, so her clothes room was full and could not fit the bags.To others, however, Stella's words meant her house was so small she had to store her bags in her friend's house. She sounded incredibly broke.Everyone could not help but gaze at her with sympathy.'Why is she challenging Bella when she doesn't have what it takes?' they thought.Meanwhile, Yolanda was not that nice about it; she outright said mockingly, "She's asking you to pick two; do you think you're doing wholesale?"Stella was not angered. She answered coolly, "Bella's going to throw them out anyway. Besides, doesn't she like helping newcomers? Isn't giving the bags to me better than throwing them out?"Her words put Bella in a difficult spot.While the bags were outdated, one could still get quite some money back if they sold
Stella's friend was no other than Timothy Elrod, the boss of the secondhand store where she had bought her bag.Timothy did not come alone; he even brought a staff member from the store with him. The two trailed behind Stella and slowly walked into the room with the bags.Timothy was really famous in the secondhand luxury goods market. Since many celebrities and influencers had traded with him, the actors present immediately recognized him the moment he appeared.'How could Stella's friend be Timothy?' everyone wondered.Then, they heard Stella say, "Please help me take a look at all of these bags, Timothy."Timothy nodded and immediately got his staff to examine them.The two took out gloves, glasses, and various examination tools from the toolbox. Then, they started verifying the bags in the cupboard.After the staff member checked the bags, he handed them to Timothy, who inspected them carefully. Then, Timothy took a photo with his tablet and wrote down their appraisal.Ever
Practically everyone in the fashion industry knew the social status of a private customized Ebenezer among luxury goods.Bella recognized the value of a custom-made Ebenezer far surpassing that of all the bags in her possession. 'Scratch that; the value of this bag cannot even be measured with money. It's a one-and-only fashion item that has an enormous collection value. If Stella's bag is genuine, I practically embarrassed myself by shamelessly boasting about giving her the bags.'Meanwhile, Yolanda was still shouting."Can't the code be faked? Nine out of ten of Ebenezer the Prodigy's bags online are fake. Who knows if hers is a realistic imitation?"Timothy frowned and said, "Madam Fenley, you bought that Cartier bracelet on your wrist from Mrs. Fell, didn't you?"Yolanda was taken aback. She covered her bracelet out of reflex and said with a slightly flustered expression, "What nonsense are you spouting? My bracelet is brand new!"Timothy said while gripping Yolanda's wrist,
Everyone was curious. Aside from the giant mango on the first day of shoot, Stella had always kept a low profile on the set.Her food and accommodation were the same as everyone else. She had never been picky with the lunch boxes they gave her on set and ate whatever was given. After all, actors who were the slightest bit popular or came from well-off families were all very spoiled.Filming was one thing, but they would never let themselves suffer apart from filming. For instance, Bella and Yolanda had never eaten the lunch boxes on set. After they finished filming, people would escort them out with umbrellas and walk them to the car.The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and there were even specially-made meals. What was even crazier was that some people even brought their masseuses over to massage them in the car.This was why everyone could not help but feel curious about Stella's family.Stella smiled and told a half lie, "He's sort of... My ex, I guess."Everyone was
Stella did not know of this brand back then, so she was unaware of how expensive the bag was. She merely liked the bag because it was something Keegan had given her of his own accord, so she brought it everywhere.However, her actions made the ladies in the high society loathe her. They thought she was a beauty without a brain and was so lowly that she only knew how to show off her wealth.Once she realized how pricey the bag was, she hardly ever used it.But people still disliked her. They just found other reasons to criticize her.Over time, Stella began to see it. They weren't judging her fashion choices or how she showed off her money. It was the fact that she married into the Kane family so effortlessly, despite having nothing before. She had achieved a level of status that others could only imagine.After that, Stella stopped caring about what others thought.When she was unhappy, she shared photos of her jewelry on social media platforms; when she was happy, she also share
Keegan could not refuse the President's enthusiasm, so he forcefully pulled himself together and walked over with his glass.The President introduced him to the businessmen immigrants who had returned from overseas this year and had settled in Rivera, so Keegan inevitably had to interact with them in the future.The President very proudly introduced Keegan to everyone and kept on praising him. Naturally, these people knew of Keegan even if the President did not introduce him.The Vinci Rivera Group had been doing business abroad for a while now. Plus, Keegan was involved in a lot of their overseas projects. Every year, he traveled abroad to find talented people and offered them big salaries, which made him popular with international students.Everyone toasted each other and exchanged pleasantries.The discomfort Keegan felt seemed to have gotten even worse. While his nausea was relieved, he still felt dizzy, and the weakness in his limbs had intensified. Apart from these symptoms,
